I've just been thinking about a 10 and cooled down knowing that I have enough steel guitars ...and then this popped up.

| Mike, no one can ever have too many lap steels. The man who bought this 10 string already has 4 other Melbert lap steels. |

| Dom, the scale length on this one is 23.25" to match his other lap steels but since it is custom, this model can be made to any scale length. --Bob-- |

Very nice Robert......a great add to your stable.
What kind of wood did you use? Pickup?
Are you open to customization re wood and pickups?

| Stephen, I used poplar because this customer wanted something lightweight. Normally I would have used maple but I can use walnut, mahogany, quilted maple, or more exotic woods. It all depends on how much the customer wants to pay. The pickup on this one was a George L's E-66. I can use any of the George L's pickups at the same price. Fitting a different brand pickup would involve custom work and could easily cost more for the pickup. Anyone interested can send an email to me at melbertguitars@gmail.com Bob |

Just the shape of the body, the Master is longer and narrower. https://www.melbertguitars.com/
